[Dr. Habib Khan.]

Dr. Nilanjana these are some fact about Halogen Group.

 

1. These all medicine have anti-syphilitic property and this property increase with increase in Atomic number.  
2. Iodine is considered as basic remedy for the cure of goiter in allopathic system, but in-fact  all element of this group have the property to treat goiter and this is because of same energy level in outer most cell of these element.
3. Radio activity of this element increase with increase in atomic number hence increase the curative power of treating the cancerous goiter. Means astatine may prove very good remedy for the cure of toxic goiter.

 

 

Dr. Nilanjana not only halogen group but other group also has such type of similarity in its therapeutic property.
